Referring to FIG. 1B, in some embodiments, at least one through interlayer via (TIV) 120 is formed on the carrier 112, and the TIV 120 is in contact with and electrically connected to the antenna element ATN. Only one TIV is shown here but the number of the TIV is not limited by the descriptions herein. In some embodiments, the TIV 120 is a through integrated fan-out (InFO) via. In certain embodiments, the TIV 120 is physically connected and arranged near an edge of the antenna element ATN. In some embodiments, the TIV 120 is formed by photolithography, plating, photoresist stripping processes or any other suitable method. In one embodiment, the TIV 120 may be formed by forming a mask pattern (not shown) with openings exposing a portion the antenna element ATN and forming a metallic material filling the openings to form the TIV 120 on the expose portion of the antenna element ATN by electroplating or deposition and then removing the mask pattern. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the material of the TIV 120 may include a metal material such as copper or copper alloys, or the like. As shown in FIG. 1B, only one TIV 120 is shown; however, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the number of the TIV can be selected based on the demand.

Referring to FIG. 1C, in some embodiments, the antenna element ATN and the TIV 120 are in contact with and molded in a molding compound 130. In some embodiments, the molding compound 130 covers the TIV 120, the antenna element ATN and the dielectric layer 116. In some embodiments, the molding compound 130 covers top surfaces and sidewalls of the TIV 120 and the antenna element ATN, where the top surfaces of the TIV 120 and the antenna element ATN are opposite to the carrier 112. In some embodiments, the material of the molding compound 130 has low permittivity (Dk) and low loss tangent (Df) properties. Depending on the frequency range of the high speed applications, suitable materials of the molding compound 130 may be selected based on the required electrical properties of the package structure.

Referring to FIG. 1D, in some embodiments, the molding compound 130 and the TIV 120 are planarized until the TIV 120 is exposed. In certain embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1D, after the planarization, the TIV 120 and the molding compound 130 become substantially leveled. In one embodiment, the top surfaces of the TIV 120 and the molding compound 130 are coplanar. In some embodiments, the molding compound 130 and the TIV 120 are planarized through a grinding process or a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. After the grinding process, a cleaning step may be optionally performed, for example to clean and remove the residue generated from the grinding step. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the planarizing step may be performed through any other suitable method.

Referring to FIG. 1E, in some embodiments, a first redistribution layer 140 is formed on the TIV 120, the molding compound 130 and the antenna element ATN. In some embodiments, the first redistribution layer 140 is physically connected to the TIV 120 and is electrically connected to the antenna element ATN through the TIV 120. In addition to the routing function provided by the first distribution layer 140, a part of the first distribution layer 140 located above and overlapped with the antenna element ATN in the vertical projection is the ground plane portion GP, which functions as a ground plate for the antenna element ATN. In some embodiments, the ground plane portion GP acts as a reflector for antenna radiation and ensures high gain/efficiency for the antenna when there is a specific distance (which is wavelength dependent) between the antenna element ATN and the ground plane portion GP. Owing to such configuration, the distance between the antenna element ATN and the ground plane portion GP is controllable by adjusting the height of the TIV 120, thereby allowing fine pitch for later-formed conductive elements and better flexibility in the design of a printed circuit board (which is connected to the package structure 10 through the later-formed conductive elements). In view thereof, a height of the package structure 10 may further be reduced. Additionally, in the disclosure, except for the molding compound 130, no additional semiconductor element (e.g., passive components or active components) or other element made of metal or metallic materials present between the antenna element ATN and the ground plane portion GP, thereby ensuring the reliability of antenna applications. The formation of the first redistribution layer 140 includes sequentially forming one or more polymer dielectric layers 142 and at least one metallization layer 144 in alternation. In certain embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1E, the metallization layer 144 is sandwiched between the polymer dielectric layers 142, but the top surface of the metallization layer 144 is exposed by the topmost layer of the polymer dielectric layers 142 and the lowest layer of the metallization layers 144 is exposed by the lowest layer of the polymer dielectric layers 142 to connect the TIV 120. In some embodiments, the material of the metallization layers 144 includes aluminum, titanium, copper, nickel, tungsten, and/or alloys thereof, and the metallization layers 144 may be formed by electroplating or deposition. In some embodiments, the material of the polymer dielectric layers 142 includes polyimide, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, phenol resin, benzocyclobutene (BCB), polybenzooxazole (PBO), or any other suitable polymer-based dielectric material.

In some embodiments, the materials of the UBM patterns 150 and the connection pads 152 may include copper, nickel, titanium, tungsten, or alloys thereof or the like, and may be formed by an electroplating process, for example. In one embodiment, the material of the UBM patterns 150 may be the same as that of the connection pads 152. In another embodiment, the material of the UBM patterns 150 may be different from that of the connection pads 152. In one embodiment, there may be only the UBM patterns 150 presented in the package structure; however, in another embodiment, there may be only the connection pads 152. The number of the UBM patterns 150 and the connection pad 152 is not limited in this disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1F, after the first redistribution layer 140 is formed, a plurality of conductive elements 160 are formed on the first redistribution layer 140. As shown in FIG. 1F, the conductive elements 160 are disposed on the UBM patterns 150. In some embodiments, the conductive elements 160 may be disposed on the UBM patterns 150 by ball placement process or reflow process. In some embodiments, the conductive elements 160 are, for example, solder balls or ball grid array (BGA) balls. In some embodiments, the conductive elements 160 are connected to the first redistribution layer 140 through the UBM patterns 150. As shown in the FIG. 1F, some of the conductive elements 160 are electrically connected to the antenna element ATN through the first distribution layer 140, the TIV 120 and the UMB patterns 150.

Referring to FIG. 1G, at least one die 170 is provided and disposed on the first redistribution layer 140. As shown in FIG. 1G, the die 170 is disposed on the connection pads 152, and is connected to the first redistribution layer 140 through the connection pads 152. In some embodiments, the die 170 may be disposed on the connection pads 152 through reflow process. In some embodiments, the conductive elements 160 and the die 170 are formed on a surface of the first redistribution layer 140, wherein the first redistribution layer 140 is located between the molding compound 130 and the conductive elements 160 and between the molding compound 130 and the die 170. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1G, the die 170 includes an active surface 170 a, a plurality of pads 170 b distributed on the active surface 170 a, a passivation layer 170 c covering the active surface 170 a and a portion of the pad 170 b, a plurality of conductive pillars 170 d, and a protection layer 170 e. The pads 170 b are partially exposed by the passivation layer 170 c, the conductive pillars 170 d are disposed on and electrically connected to the pads 170 b, and the protection layer 170 e covers the passivation layer 170 c and exposes the conductive pillars 170 d. As shown in FIG. 1G, the die 170 is electrically connected to the first redistribution layer 140 through the conductive pillars 170 d and the connection pads 152; the die 170 is electrically connected to some of the conductive elements 160 through the conductive pillars 170 d, the connection pads 152, the first redistribution layer 140, and some of the UBM patterns 150; and the die 170 is electrically connected to the antenna element ATN through the conductive pillars 170 d, the connection pads 152, the first redistribution layer 140, and the TIV 120. In the disclosure, the die 170 is overlaid the antenna element ATN; that is, a positioning location of the die 170 is overlapped with a positioning location of the antenna element ATN in a vertical projection on the first redistribution layer 140, which allows to reduce a layout area of the package structure 10. Furthermore, the die 170 is not molded in the molding compound 130, a good thermal dissipation is achieved. The conductive pillars 170 d are copper pillars, copper alloy pillar or other suitable metal pillars, for example. In some embodiments, the protection layer 170 e may be a polybenzoxazole (PBO) layer, a polyimide (PI) layer or other suitable polymers. In some alternative embodiments, the protection layer 170 e may be made of inorganic materials, such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or any suitable dielectric material. In some embodiments, an underfill material (not shown) may be provided between the die 170 and the connection pads 152 to enhance the reliability of the package.

As shown in FIG. 1G, only one die is presented for illustrative purposes, however, it should be noted that one or more dies may be provided. The die(s) described herein may be referred as a chip or an integrated circuit (IC). In some embodiments, the die 170 includes at least one wireless and radio frequency (RF) chip. In some embodiments, the die 170 may further include additional chip(s) of the same type or different types. In alternative embodiments, more than one die 170 are provided, and the dies 130, except for including at least one wireless and RF chip, may include the same or different types of chips selected from digital chips, analog chips or mixed signal chips, application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) chips, sensor chips, memory chips, logic chips or voltage regulator chips.

Referring to FIG. 1H, in some embodiments, the carrier 112 is flipped (turned upside down) and then is debonded from the dielectric layer 116 to form the package structure 10. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 116 is easily separated from the carrier 112 due to the debond layer 114. In some embodiments, the carrier 112 is detached from the dielectric layer 116 through a debonding process and the carrier 112 and the debond layer 114 are removed. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 116 remained on the antenna element ATN and the molding compound 130 is served as a protection layer. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the dielectric layer 116 may be subsequently removed and the surface of the antenna element ATN is exposed. In some embodiments, a dicing process is performed to cut the wafer having a plurality of the package structures 10 into individual and separated package structures 10. In one embodiment, the dicing process is a wafer dicing process including mechanical blade sawing or laser cutting.

As shown in FIG. 1H, in some embodiments, the package structure 10 includes the at least one TIV 120, the molding compound 130, the first redistribution layer 140, the antenna element ATN, the conductive elements 160, and the at least one die 170. The package structure 10 further includes the UBM patterns 150 and the connection pads 152. In some embodiments, the conductive elements 160 and the die 170 are located on and connected to the first redistribution layer 140 through the UBM patterns 150 and the connection pads 152, respectively. In some embodiments, the conductive elements 160 and the die 170 are located on the same side of the first redistribution layer 140 and are not molded in the molding compound 130 (outside of the molding compound 130), such that a good thermal dissipation is achieved. As shown in FIG. 1H, the TIV 120 connected to the surface of the first redistribution layer 140 is molded in the molding compound 130 and is located at another side of the first redistribution layer 140 opposite to the conductive elements 160 and the die 170. In some embodiments, the first redistribution layer 140 is located between the conductive elements 160 and the molding compound 130 and is between the die 170 and the molding compound 130. In some embodiments, the first redistribution layer 140 is located between the conductive elements 160 and the antenna element ATN and TIV 120 and between the die 170 and the antenna element ATN. In some embodiments, the antenna element ATN is located on and physically connected to the TIV 120, and the antenna element ATN is electrically connected to the first redistribution layer 140 through the TIV 120. As shown in FIG. 1H, the TIV 120 is located between the antenna element ATN and the first distribution layer 140 and in contact with the antenna element ATN and the first distribution layer 140, so that the antenna element ATN and the first distribution layer 140 are electrically connected. In detail, the antenna element ATN and the TIV 120 are in contact with and molded in the molding compound 130, where the top surface of the antenna element ATN and bottom surface of the TIV 120 are not covered by the molding compound 130. In certain embodiments, the antenna element ATN is located above the first redistribution layer 140 and the die 170, wherein a positioning location of the die 170 corresponds to and is overlapped with a positioning location of the antenna element ATN (e.g., the antenna element ATN is overlapped with the die 170 in a vertical projection on the first redistribution layer 140).

Owing to the configuration of the antenna element ATN and the layout of the first redistribution layer 140, the first distribution layer 140 not only provides routing function but also serves as the ground plane for the antenna element ATN. Referring to FIG. 1H and FIG. 6, the ground plane portion GP includes openings Orp for isolating routings and the pads for connecting the conductive element(s) 160 from the rest of the metallization layer 144 and opening Opc corresponding to the locations of the passive components of the die 170. In some embodiments, the location of the antenna element ATN corresponds to and is overlapped with the location of the ground plane portion GP of the first redistribution layer 140. As the die 170 is located outside of the molding compound 130 and there is no additional semiconductor element (e.g., passive components or active components) located between the antenna element ATN and the ground plane portion GP, better thermal dissipation for the die and better reliability of the package are attained and the array gain and efficiency of the antenna are enhanced. And, a distance between the antenna element ATN and the ground plane portion GP is controllable by adjusting the height of the TIV 120, thereby allowing fine pitch and better flexibility for later-formed conductive elements. Furthermore, due to the positioning location of the die 170 is overlapped with the positioning location of the antenna element ATN in a vertical projection, a compact layout area of the package structure 10 is achieved. In some embodiments, some of the conductive elements 160 are electrically connected to the die 170 through some of the UBM patterns 150, the first redistribution layer 140, the connection pads 152, and the conductive pillars 170 d. In some embodiments, some of the conductive elements 160 are electrically connected to the antenna element ATN through the UMB patterns 150, the first redistribution layer 140, and the TIVs 120.

In some embodiments, the TIV wall 220 is formed by photolithography, plating, photoresist stripping processes or any other suitable method. In one embodiment, the TIV wall 220 may be formed by forming a mask pattern (not shown) covering the metallization layer 244 and the polymer dielectric layer 242 with openings exposing a portion of the metallization layer 244, forming a metallic material filling the openings to form the TIV wall 220 by electroplating or deposition and then removing the mask pattern.

In some embodiments, the molding compound 230 a is not formed on the inner sidewall 220 a of the TIV wall 220 and a surface (e.g., a surface 244 a of the metallization layer 244, see FIG. 3) of the second redistribution layer 240 surrounded by the TIV wall 220. In some embodiments, the molding compound 230 a, for example, may include polymers (such as epoxy resins, phenolic resins, silicon-containing resins, or other suitable resins), dielectric materials having low permittivity (Dk) and low loss tangent (Df) properties, or other suitable materials. Depending on the frequency range of the high speed applications, suitable materials of the molding compound 230 a may be selected based on the required electrical properties of the package structure.

Referring to FIG. 2L, in some embodiments, the conductive elements 160 are mounted into a polymer film PF, wherein the conductive elements 160 are completely embedded in the polymer film PF. In some embodiments, the material of the polymer film PF may include a polymer film having sufficient elasticity to allow the conductive elements 160 being embedded therein. In some embodiments, the polymer film PF may be a parafilm or a film made of other suitable soft polymer materials or the like. Next, as shown in FIG. 2L, in some embodiments, a cap layer 180 having a first metallic pattern 182 disposed thereon is provided and is disposed on the molding compound 230 and the TIV wall 220 debonded from the carrier 112. In some embodiments, the material of the cap layer 180 may include dielectric materials having low permittivity (Dk) and low loss tangent (DO properties, or other suitable materials; for example, fused silica (having Dk˜3.80 and Df<0.001). In certain embodiments, the cap layer 180 is disposed on the TIV wall 220 and the molding compound 230 through adhesives. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2L and FIG. 4, disposing the cap layer 180 on the TIV wall 220 and the molding compound 230, for example, include connecting at least a portion of the first metallic pattern 182 to a portion of the TIV wall 220 of a predetermined overlapping region OP through a conductive adhesive material (not shown), as so the first metallic pattern 182 is electrically connected to the TIV wall 220, and connecting a surface 180 a of the cap layer 180 exposed by the first metallic pattern 182 to the rest of the TIV wall 220 and the molding compound 230 through the adhesive layer 181. In the disclosure, the material of the adhesives layer 181 can be any suitable non-conductive adhesives or glues.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2L and FIG. 5, a portion of the first metallic pattern 182 is connected to the portion of the TIV wall 220 of a predetermined overlapping region OP through a conductive adhesive material (not shown), wherein the portion of the TIV wall 220 of the predetermined overlapping region OP connected to the first metallic pattern 182 is separated from the rest of the TIV wall by gaps, and the first metallic pattern 182 and the portion of the TIV wall 220 of the predetermined overlapping region OP connected to the first metallic pattern 182 are electrically connected to the rest of the TIV wall 220 through the metallization layer 244 of the second registration layer 240; and the surface 180 a of the cap layer 180 exposed by the first metallic pattern 182 is connected to the rest of the TIV wall 220 and the molding compound 230 through the adhesive layer 181. In some embodiments, prior to disposing the cap layer 180 on the TIV wall 220 and the molding compound 230, a patterning process may be performed to form gaps in the TIV wall, as shown in FIG. 5. For example, the patterning process may include photolithography and etching.

As shown in FIG. 2L, a surface of the first metallic pattern 182 opposite to the cap layer 180, the first side 180 a of the cap layer 180, the surface 244 a of the metallization layer 244 of the second redistribution layer 240, the inner sidewall 220 a of the TIV wall 220 together define an empty space S (i.e. an air cavity AC), where the air has low permittivity (Dk) and low loss tangent (DO properties. In some embodiments, the first metallic pattern 182 and the portion of the TIV wall 220 connected to the first metallic pattern 182 together form an antenna element ATN, wherein the first distribution layer 140 is not only providing a routing function but a part of the second distribution layer 240 located below and overlapped with the antenna element ATN is served as a ground plate GP for the antenna element ATN. Owing to such configuration, a distance between the antenna element ATN and the ground plate GP is controllable by adjusting the height of the TIV wall 220, thereby allowing fine pitch for later-formed conductive elements and better flexibility in the design of a printed circuit board (which is connected to the package structure 20 through the later-formed conductive elements). In the disclosure, the ground plane portion GP acts as a reflector for antenna radiation and ensures its high gain/efficiency when there is certain distance (which is wavelength dependent) between the antenna element ATN and the ground plane portion GP. Due to the cap layer 180 and the TIV wall 220, the antenna element ATN is capable of having high-gain radiation along a first direction Y and avoiding surface wave/edge radiation along a second direction X. Additionally, in the disclosure, no additional semiconductor element (e.g., passive components or active components) or other element made of metal material and/or high-k dielectric materials is presented between the antenna element ATN and the ground plate GP, thereby ensuring the reliability of antenna applications. As shown in FIG. 2L, the antenna element ATN is overlaid the die 170; that is, a positioning location of the die 170 is overlapped with a positioning location of the antenna element ATN in a vertical projection on the first redistribution layer 140, which allows to reduce a layout area of the package structure 20 as comparing to a conventional side-by-side configuration of an antenna element and a ground plate. As shown in FIG. 2L, the antenna element ATN partially contacts the molding compound 230 a.

Referring to FIG. 2M, in some embodiments, after the cap layer 180 is disposed on the TIV wall 220 and the molding compound 230, a second metallic pattern 184 is formed on a second side 180 b of the cap layer 180, wherein the second side 180 b is opposite to the first side 180 a disposed with the first metallic pattern 182 (or saying, the antenna element ATN). In some embodiments, the second metallic pattern 184 is disposed over the TIV wall 220, wherein the second metallic pattern 184 is formed in a metallic ring structure, and a shape of the second metallic pattern 184 corresponds to a shape of the TIV wall 220 (see FIG. 4), and the cap layer 180 is located between the first metallic pattern 182 (and the antenna element ATN) and the second metallic pattern 184. The surface wave/edge radiation of the antenna element ATN along the second direction X is reduced due to the second metallic pattern 184 enables the surface wave to be reflected and thus reduces the unwanted edge radiation in the antenna system. In some embodiments, the second metallic pattern 184 is formed by photolithography, deposition, photoresist stripping processes or any other suitable method. In one embodiment, the second metallic pattern 184 may be formed by forming a mask pattern (not shown) covering the second side 180 b of the cap layer 180 with openings exposing a portion of the cap layer 180, forming a metallic material filling the openings to form second metallic pattern 184 by deposition and then removing the mask pattern, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the material of the second metallic pattern 184 may include a metal material such as copper or copper alloys, or the like. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto; in an alternative embodiment, the second metallic pattern 184, for example, may be formed on the cap layer 180 prior to disposing the cap layer 180 on the TIV wall 220 and the molding compound 230.

The conductive elements 160 are disposed on a surface of the first redistribution layer 140 opposite to the die 170 and the TIVs 120, and the first redistribution layer 140 is located between the conductive elements 160 and the molding compound 230. As shown in FIG. 2N, the second redistribution layer 240 is located on the molding compound 230 (e.g. the molding compound 230 a), the TIVs 120, the die 170 and the first redistribution layer 140, and the second redistribution layer 240 is electrically connected to the first redistribution layer 140 through the TIVs 120 and is electrically connected to the first metallic pattern 182 through the TIV wall 220. The TIVs 120 and the die 170 are located between the first redistribution layer 140 and the second redistribution layer 240.

In some embodiment, the TIV wall 220 is located on and physically connected to the second redistribution layer 240, wherein the TIV wall 220 and the second redistribution layer 240 are partially molded in the compounding compound 230 a of the molding compound 230, and the inner sidewall 220 a of the TIV wall 220 and the surface 244 a of the second redistribution layer 240 are neither covered by nor in contact with the molding compound 230 (e.g. the molding compound 230 a). As shown in FIG. 2N, the TIV wall 220 is electrically connected to the TIVs 120 through the second redistribution layer 240, and is electrically connected to the first redistribution layer 140 through the second redistribution layer 240 and the TIVs 120. In some embodiments, the cap layer 180 is located on the molding compound 230 (e.g., the molding compound 230 a) and between the first metallic pattern 182 and the second metallic pattern 184, wherein the first metallic pattern 182 located on the surface 180 a of the cap layer 180 is electrically connected to a portion of the TIV wall 220, and the second metallic pattern 184 is located on the surface 180 b of the cap layer 180 is located over and overlapped with the TIV wall 220 along a vertical projection on the first redistribution layer 140. As shown in FIG. 2N, the first metallic pattern 182 is located on the molding compound 230 and the TIV wall 220, the cap layer 180 is located on and covers the first metallic pattern 182, and the second metallic pattern 184 is located on the cap layer 180, wherein the cap layer 180 is sandwiched between the first metallic pattern 182 and the second metallic pattern 184. In some embodiments, the molding compound 230 is located between the cap layer 180 and the first redistribution layer 140.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2N, the first metallic pattern 182 and the portion of the TIV wall 220 connected to the first metallic pattern 182 together form the antenna element ATN, wherein the first distribution layer 140 is not only providing a routing function but a part of the second distribution layer 240 located below the antenna element ATN is served as a ground plate GP for the antenna element ATN. Owing to such configuration, a distance between the antenna element ATN and the ground plate GP is controllable by adjusting the height of the TIV wall 220, thereby allowing fine pitch for later-formed conductive elements and better flexibility in the design of a printed circuit board (which is connected to the package structure 20 through the later-formed conductive elements). The ground plane portion GP acts as a reflector for antenna radiation and ensures its high gain/efficiency when there is certain distance (which is wavelength dependent) between the antenna element ATN and the ground plane portion GP. Due to the existence of the air cavity AC (air within the cavity having Dk=1, Df˜0) located between the cap layer 180 and the TIV wall 220, the antenna element ATN is capable of having high-gain radiation along the first direction Y and avoiding surface wave/edge radiation along the second direction X. Additionally, in the disclosure, no additional semiconductor element (e.g., passive components or active components) or other element made of metal material and/or high-k dielectric materials is presented between the antenna element ATN and the ground plate GP, thereby ensuring the reliability of antenna applications. In some embodiments, the antenna element ATN is located between the cap layer 180 and the second redistribution layer 240. In some embodiments, some of the conductive elements 160 are electrically connected to the die 170 through the UMB patterns 150, the first redistribution layer 140, and the conductive pillars 170 d. In some embodiments, some of the conductive elements 160 are electrically connected to the second redistribution layer 240 through the UMB patterns 150, the first redistribution layer 140, and the TIVs 120. In some embodiments, some of the conductive elements 160 are electrically connected to the antenna element ATN through the UMB patterns 150, the first redistribution layer 140, the TIVs 120, the second redistribution layer 240 and the TIV wall 220.

In some embodiments, the antenna element ATN partially contacts the molding compound 230 (e.g. the molding compound 230 a), wherein the side of the antenna element ATN facing toward the second redistribution layer 240, the side of the second redistribution layer 240 facing toward the antenna element ATN, the inner sidewall 220 a of the TIV wall 220 that are not covered by the molding compound 230 (either the molding compound 230 a or the molding compound 230 b) together define the space S for the air cavity AC. As shown in FIG. 2N, the air cavity AC is located between the antenna element ATN, the second redistribution layer 240, and the TIV wall 220. In certain embodiments, the antenna element ATN is electrically connected to the second redistribution layer 240 through the TIV wall 220 and is overlaid the die 170. That is, the positioning location of the die 170 is overlapped with the positioning location of the antenna element ATN in a vertical projection on the first redistribution layer 140, which leads to a smaller layout area of the package structure 20 when comparing to a conventional side-by-side configuration of an antenna element and a ground plate. In some embodiments, the shape of the second metallic pattern 184 located over the TIV wall 220 corresponds to the shape of the TIV wall 220 (as shown in FIG. 4). Owing to the second metallic pattern 184, the surface wave/edge radiation of the antenna element ATN along the second direction X is reduced.
